850 Park Avenue #8-C

Located on Park Avenue, and perched on the 8th floor overlooking bucolic East 77th Street with it's landmarked townhomes, comes this meticulously designed and renovated 3 Bed Prewar Home! Staged and decorated by award winning gallerist, art specialist, and curator Benoist Drut of Maison Gerard, there is nothing not to love about this spectacular city home.

Once you step off the landing, from the gracious foyer into the gallery, you are drawn to the grand proportions and soaring 10+ foot ceilings of the oversized living room. Designed with moments in mind, the original marble mantle, working wood burning fireplace and herringbone floors are the perfect backdrop for entertaining 40 of your closest friends or enjoying introspective solitude. While the living room is adjacent to, and opens up from, the spacious dining room, the Gallery, kitchen, and powder room complete the public part of the home.

Formerly a Classic 8, the layout was reconfigured from its previous glory with modern conveniences, including a windowed chef's kitchen with a pantry/prep kitchen, a 6 burner vented Viking Range, a SubZero refrigerator, wine fridge, a d/w Miele espresso machine, marble counters, and custom cabinetry. The sophisticated, yet practical, renovation also includes central A/C, updated lighting, a W/D, countless closets, 3 large bedrooms, and an enlarged windowed master marble bathroom with a free standing soaking tub, two sinks, a water closet, and luxury fixtures.

850 Park Avenue is an exceptionally well-run, full service cooperative. This white glove, prewar, 12 story building was originally designed by Rouse & Goldstone in 1914 with old world craftsmanship in mind. Today, the original and refined wedgewood lobby remains stylish and grand, while the building has been updated with thoughtful new world conveniences and amenities. These include assigned storage, bicycle storage, a fitness room, basketball court, courtyard, and a play area. The co-operative is pet friendly and pied-a-terres are permitted upon board approval. Impeccably run, the building allows 30% financing and there is a 2.5% flip tax.

Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, close to schools and services, it is just two blocks from Central Park, and minutes from world class museums, restaurants, cafes, galleries, and shopping. This is Upper East Side Living at it's finest.
